  • This question is not meant for the points. It is intended to pull all of us together one last time in memory of a wonderful friend and terrific lady!!! AMEN!!!
  • May Her soul rest in peace..... May Lord bestown her soul with love... May her soul live in harmony with Lord.... Amen
  • May you rest in peace until we meet up again my friend, let the heavens bring peace to your battle-weary spirit and sooth your soul. I hope that the afterlife brings as much joy, love and peace as you brought to everyone you have ever interacted with. Bless you my friend.
  • DreAnna I have only just met you and never knew of your illness. God Bless you and yours - All will be in my prayers tonight. Thank you, NUNYA. May The Lord bless you, and keep you May The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious unto you; May The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.
  • Let those close to her not be saddened. Yes there is a time to mourn, but yet remember, rejoice...she has just returned home, into the loving hands of her father...and there she can finally find her ultimate happiness, peace...love, and eternal life. She is in the hearts, she is in your thoughts, she will be remember...and she will go on through her words of wisdom, a little part of her...that has been left behind...a part where she can still help others, a thing I am sure she very much enjoyed...May she rest in peace...and until all meets again....Goodbye.
  • may comfort and peace find the hearts of her family and friends. sorry i didnt get to know her(newcomer) sounds like she was very well loved.
  • Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?" . Anyone that knew her, knows those answers.
  • My Father in Law died today from cancer as well. DreAnna , I can't hardly breath when I think of you gone, so I'll keep in mind, to my heart you'll move on. I love your positive energy, it will leave the fragrence of your life forever sketched in the landscape of time. ;)
  • I haven't been a part of AB for long, but I am terribly sorry to hear about the loss of DreAnna. I had no idea that she was ill. May God's grace and peace go with her. May it also abide in the hearts and homes of those she leaves behind.
  • I did not know DreAnna well. But all those who did are united in their praise for her generosity and kind spirit. My condolences and best wishes to all who knew her. I believe DreAnna is at peace wherever she is.
  • May flights of angels sing her to her rest
  • Dreanna, I did not get the chance to know you well, but I know your presence will be sorely missed. I will raise my glass to having had the privilege of meeting you in this life and to your next. May that next life be truly blessed, my friend.
  • hm even of you dont realy know them you still feel some sympothy
  • She was a great Answerbagger. I had no idea that she was ill. May she rest in peace. (Please do not point this message.)
  • May Angels wings enfold you, and the breeze gently blow your hair. May all pain be forgotten, God give you peace gentleness and care Because when tomorrow starts without you We all know why you are not there. Rest in Peace Dre.
  • My thoughts and prayers go out to DreAnna's family and friends. May God be with them in this time of mourning.
  • in DreAnna's memory: Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. (Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!)
  • This is so sad. I did not know her really, I haven't been here long enough but I enjoyed her answers. I even thought of sending a friend request. I wish I had now. I just spent quite some time reading her archived answers and all I can say is she was amazing. A great attitude and awesome personal strength and courage considering her condition. I honestly cried when reading her personal thoughts. I'm so sorry to hear about this. It has really kind of taken the wind out of my sails. God Bless her and all her friends here. She was clearly loved by many here and I'm sure she is going to be missed very much.
  • I'm hoping this is some sort of sick joke. But if not, I'm sorry to hear it. Does anyone know what kind of cancer?
  • The say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them. DreAnna will be missed, but never forgotten. Rest In Peace.
  • all good people return to their savior before they should may god rest her blessed soul and inspire many to be a better person with your time amen
  • Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Rest soundly in the loving arms of The Lord. Amen.
  • oh.........this question..........makes me so silent i can't say anything...........it makes me feel the transient nature of this futile world.... Oh God please give peace to the soul of DreAnna. Om peace..peace...peace.
  • I extend my deepest sympathies to DreAnna's family. Hopefully, they can take comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain. She was a very nice, funny and loving person. I hope to meet her in the afterlife, assuming I make it to the same place she is. I will pray for her soul this evening.
  • Rest in peace dear lady, cradled in the love of those whose lives you touched. You will be in hearts and minds for all eternity.
  • if this is true ... the world has lost another loving soul but the angels have gained a kindred spirit... always missed but never forgotten

  • Sail on silvergirl, sail on by. your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way. See how they shine. Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
  • Instead of a bible verse or prayer I would like to share with you my thoughts about what heaven is like...it will be exactly like our lives on earth except there will be no pain, sickness, anger, racism, strife. Our lives will go on with our loved ones, Answerbag included, and the only difference is there will be nothing negative. So I can see Dre there along with Nelson and some of our other AB friends who have passed on involved in the Heavenly version of Answerbag. We'll see you one day my friends and we shall continue on as if there had been no break...meanwhile, Happy Wednesday to you all! :) ((hugs))
  • Remember me when i am gone away,gone far away to this silent land;When you can do no more hold me by the hand,Nor i half turn to go,yet turning stay.Remember me when no more day by day.Only remember me;you understand it will be too late to counsel or pray.Yet if you should forget for a while and afterwards remember ;do not grieve.A vestige of the thoughts i once had,Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.God bless you DreAnna.
  • She finally reached the top of the stairs and at the top was a beautiful figure in a long flowing robe. The figure opened his arms and DreAnna ran into his embrace. Finally! She feels comfort, security, overwhelming love and most of all peace. DreAnna is is a far better place then this cruel world could ever provide for her. I was only starting to get to know DreAnna and I never knew that I touched her enough to include me on her list. I am more then honored, but I just don't feel worthy enough to be included. She is the type of person that I strive to be someday. Good night DreAnna. Sleep tight honey.
  • The Rose Beyond the Wall Near a shady wall a rose once grew, Budded and blossomed in God's free light, Watered and fed by the morning dew, Shedding it's sweetness day and night. As it grew and blossomed fair and tall, Slowly rising to loftier height, It came to a crevice in the wall Through which there shone a beam of light. Onward it crept with added strength With never a thought of fear or pride, It followed the light through the crevice's length And unfolded itself on the other side. The light, the dew, the broadening view Were found the same as they were before, And it lost itself in beauties new, Breathing it's fragrance more and more. Shall claim of death cause us to grieve And make our courage faint and fall? Nay! Let us faith and hope receive-- The rose still grows beyond the wall, Scattering fragrance far and wide Just as it did in days of yore, Just as it did on the other side, Just as it will forevermore. RIP DreAnna xx
  • I was shocked when I found out this morning. She was loved by many. This is my first loss on AB and I am so sad for her and her family. I had no idea which is a testament to her. She was always so positive and upbeat. I only wish I knew her better. We will all miss her very much. Love and good thoughts to her and her family and all ABers
  • ...she spoke to me the evening of the 25th...choosing "wings"... & now, our lovely angel has flown... my heart is sad...I have no words.
  • Tears are falling onto my keyboard as I type this. I did not know. Beautiful DreAnna, you will be missed.
  • In honor and memory of DreAnna: A Stairway To Heaven If Tears Could Build A Stairway And Memories A Lane I’d Walk Right Up To Heaven And Bring You Home Again DreAnna, i personally would like to thank you for being here for me. I remember when i talked to you a few times about problems i was having and you helped me out. God Bless you and your family.
  • ...go in grace on the gentle wings of peace, love, compassion and the memories of those who will remember you forever...
  • I am very sorry. I am also ashamed that I did not even know she was ill. I has been to my benefit to know her here and I will miss her.
  • my condolences go out to her family! she will be missed!! *thoughts and prayers*
  • "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:28-29 She is no longer ill, she is with God forever whole.
  • I haven't been on in a few days and it just knocked the wind out of me when I read this. I couldn't answer anything else. DreAnna and I exchanged several comments about our resesctive diseases and times and life, and about the fact that neither of us had a cure. But she was still positive and we both agreed to live life to it's fullest and not waste a single day. And I really think that is the way she lived her life. I could tell there was an acceptance there, one that only the word "incurable" can give you. I understand, and she did as well. She was so funny and upbeat. Although I didn't know her nearly as well as so many here, I felt a connection with her, albeit through illness, she was indeed a kindred spirit. I am so very sorry for the loss that her dearest friends here must be feeling. I am deeply sorry for your loss and can only offer up a prayer and my heartfelt sympathies. God speed and blessings and comfort for her family and friends during this time. Much love...
  • Lord, please let Dreanna's soul shine in Heaven like it did here on earth. Her strength, outlook on life, and humor were all things I truly admired. To Dreanna... Thank you for making me laugh, and thank you for helping me through some tough times by managing to put a smile on my tear soaked face. :)What cracked me up the most was no matter what your answer was you always put a smiley face after.:) Thank you for being you:) Phantom
  • John 5:28 New American Standard Bible "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice". Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” (John 11:25) The Bible teaches that the dead will live again. Under the rule of his Kingdom, the heavenly King Jesus Christ will resurrect untold numbers of people to life here on earth—but under peaceful and righteous conditions. (Acts 24:15; 2 Peter 3:13) Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones!
  • In memory of DreAnna I Lift our loved one up in prayer Prayer for the one who has died Eternal rest, grant to her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
  • Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow. - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
  • http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c324/ChrisWalter/dreanaSerraValkyrie.jpg This is for DreAnna. Please read the last line for that is one reason why i am posting this
  • The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Rest in Peace DreAnna.
